With one swing (and emphatic toss) of the bat, Jose Bautista cemented his legacy as one of the greatest Toronto Blue Jays of all-time.
His home run in Game 5 of the ALDS was one of the biggest in franchise history. No, Bautista didn't clinch a World Series title for the Blue Jays like Joe Carter. Nor did he win them an ALCS or World Series game like Roberto Alomar or Ed Sprague.
But Jose Bautista validated his entire existence within the Toronto Blue Jays organization, and he also validated this team as well.
Statistically speaking, Bautista is already one of the most prolific Blue Jays ever, but what he lacked was his signature "moment".
